In this video, we repair a plug-in switching power supply. We check what's wrong, look for damaged components, and replace them. In the meantime, I'm telling you about how such a power supply works. Then we turn on the power supply and check its current efficiency. -----------------------Table of contents---------------------- 0:00 Introduction, inspection of the patient 0:56 What's the problem? 1:39 Inside the power supply 4:10 How does such a power supply work? 10:26 Checking the electrolytes and replacing them 12:25 The toothpick method 13:14 Checking capacitors continued 14:29 Will the power supply work? 15:49 Current efficiency measurements 18:03 What to do to keep the electrolytes from failing too quickly? 19:09 Conclusion ---------------------------------------------------------------- Don't want to miss new videos?
